The Coaster Controlled HTPC

The guys over at Roteno Labs have come up with a cool way to control a HTPC to select the content you want, the project is called the RFiDJ Project and it uses a series of coasters fitted with RFID tags.

When a different coaster is place on the HTPC the server begins streaming that selection, from specific albums to podcasts to local news, check out the video of it in action below.

Very cool, it looks like a great idea and certainly would be a lot more fun to use than a remote, head on over to Roteno Labs for more details.
